B-Rose's Party and Bears on Singletrack

What happened on Saturday night? Something about an art opening downtown, me derbying a friend into a puddle in the alley (sorry about that, but good thing you had a change of clothing on you), group riding to the Rose's in S. Mpls, an 11-person party bike (I mostly rode as the 12th rider), fireworks, the police, waking up at noon on Sunday - haven't done that in a while. More here.

ANCHORAGE — A 14-year-old girl riding in an all-night bicycle race suffered severe injuries early Sunday when a bear attacked her on a trail, authorities said.

Police with shotguns escorted medics into the woods to retrieve the girl, who was in critical condition Sunday....Another bicyclist who found her sitting on the ground about 1:30 a.m. said she could utter only one word: "Bear."
